@emptywheel I don't see the gun provision in his original bill. Is that an amendment? -
@ColMorrisDavis Bottom of page 65 here. https://www.emptywheel.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/EAS15585-FISA-Improvements-Act-2015.pdf … Section 204. -
@emptywheel It appears it adds a gun enhancement to 2332 (acts of terrorism), not to 2339 (material support). -
@ColMorrisDavis That's what my post says (3rd ¶). (Though that would mean the 2339 applies to it as well.) Seems horribly ripe for abuse. -
@emptywheel I don't see the 2332 to 2339 link that would tack the 2332 gun enhancement onto 2339. -
@ColMorrisDavis But my big worry is that this would (if passed) let govt use possession as reason to call dissidents terrorists. -
@emptywheel I'm often surprised how gov't interprets law, but here I don't see it creating a new offense, just >punishment if gun involved. -
@ColMorrisDavis Once dissidents w/guns are "terrorists" they and friends can be pursued very differently and underlying speech criminalized.
